Letters to the Editor Let Varun Gandhi not succeed where the worst terrorists have failed
Under the circumstances Muslim leaders should realize that the Varun brigade is spoiling for communal clashes and provoking the Muslim community to react. Restraint is what needs to be exercised by Muslims. Communal harmony should be maintained. Let not Varun Gandhi succeed where the worst terrorists have failed. Let not Muslims fall into the trap and be provoked. They should follow the example of Hindus who refused to be provoked by any number of terror attacks. -- Dr. Mookhi Amir Ali, Mumbai With Taliban at the door in neighbouring Pakistan, we need a secular government in India, not a party with a communal agenda. We must set a better example to hate-filled Pakistan than electing our own venomous leaders. -- A.M. Jamsheed Basha The comments of the news channel (CNN-IBN) are of an editorial nature and not news reporting. I wonder what is communal about this speech.

Though some Islamist groups have renounced violence, accepted the principles of democracy and marginally improved their stand on women and minority rights, they remain socially conservative. ... Muslims must stop blaming the problem of extremism on catastrophic policies of foreign countries. For, two wrongs simply do not make a right. It is primarily a Muslim problem, threatening both Muslim and non-Muslim societies. We need to acknowledge that there is a problem of theology when extremists talk of going straight to heaven after taking innocent lives. The roots of all modern militant Islamic movements can be traced to one man, Abdul Wahab from Nejd in the Arabian Peninsula. He set out to 'purify' Islam, believing that Muslims had drifted away from true religion. Wahab's followers destroyed many sacred sites that he considered linked to idolatry.... The extremism now found in Mecca and Medina, the heartland of Islam, is the Wahhabi ideology that the Saudis have spent millions in promoting through their outreach programmes. There is no tolerance for Shias, Sunni Sufis or other Muslim traditions, leave alone non-Muslims. -- Sadia Dehlvi 5 Comments More.. http://newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1254 Islamic World News: Why 20, 000 Iranian Jews' don’t want to leave Iran?
